Abstract

The influence of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving transformation in healthcare systems in parallel with similar disruption in other sectors and society at large. In this article, we draw on Kueper and Pandit's (2025) paper to emphasize that this global infusion of AI requires immediate attention from the world's largest group of healthcare practitioners. Nurses have a critical role to play not only in how this technology will change healthcare delivery and their professional practice but also in how it will change the world. Promising nursing-led AI initiatives include improved clinical decision making and prediction, personalized care, digital documentation and resource allocation.
